All violent crimes are filled with hatred. But the murder of college student Matthew Shepard is called a "hate crime" because he was a homosexual. Advocates of homosexuality contend that gays and lesbians are victims of intolerance and want to add sexual orientation to hate crime laws. However, homosexuality is a lifestyle choice and behavior that can be changed, not an "inborn, innate, unchangeable" characteristic. Including sexual orientation in hate crime laws would give homosexuals special treatment and be disastrous for Christians and those who believe homosexuality is immoral.
